ALBERT SIDNEY W'HITE AND GEORGE L. GARDNER, OF NEW ORLEANS LOUISIANA.
,TURPENTINE-CUP.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 792,483, dated June 13, 1905. Application filed January 3, 1905. Serial No. 239,458.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we,ALBERT SIDNEY WHITE and GEORGE L. GARDNER, citizens of the United States, residing at New Orleans, in the parish of Orleans and State of Louisiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Turpentine-Cups; and we do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
Our invention relates to improvements in turpentine-cups intended to be detachably connected to a pine-tree beneath one or more gashes in the bark thereof; and the said invention consists of an improved form of cup struck or pressed out of a single blank of metal without any soldering or riveting of the parts, which has the bowl thereof corrugated and connected to a flexible top plate made integral with the bowl, whereby great flexibility of the device is secured, which will enable the said device to be readily fitted to the contour of the tree.
Our invention will be understood by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which the same parts are indicated by the same letters or numerals throughout the several views.
Figure 1 shows a portion of the trunk of a tree with the cup attached thereto. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the cup as detached from the tree, and Fig. 3 is a front view of the cup and shows the contour of the plate or blank from which the bowl of the cup is pressed up in dotted lines.
Referring first to Fig. 3, a suitable flat metal plate or blank of the contour indicated by the top edge 1., the rounded corners 2, the straight sides 3, and the curved base 4 is struck or pressed up to the shape shown in full lines and shaded in Figs. 2 and 3. The result is the cup having a flat bottom 5, a corrugated bowl 6, fiat along the back, and a top or flap 8, which is preferably perforated with nail-holes 9. These nail-holes are preferably made large enough to readily slide over the heads of suitable nails, so that the cup may be applied to the tree and removed therefrom from time to time, as occasion may require.
It is obvious that the rounded corners 2 may be made angular, if desired.
In order to apply the cup to the tree, it is bent to fit snugly against the face of the tree below one or more gashes a in the bark of the tree, as shown in Fig. 1, and nails 6 are then driven through the holes 9.
Owing to the corrugations of the bowl the device'may be snugly fitted by hand against the face of the tree, and it will be obvious that it may be removed from time to time when required.
Having thus described our invention, what we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is
1. 'A turpentine-cup constructed of a single blank of metal having a flexible top plate and a corrugated bowl dependent therefrom and integral therewith, substantially as described.
2. A turpentine-cup constructed of a single blank of metal having a flexible top plate, a corrugated bowl dependent therefrom and integral therewith, and nail-holes in said top plate, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof We have afiixed our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
